Greens: Hillary Morris

Hillary Morris, a Central Coast resident since 1986, decided to stand for The Greens in the forthcoming election because she believes people are not being listened to.

"I felt the only way to change this was to run for State Parliament myself," Ms Morris said.

Hillary will work to properly manage the future of water resources on the Central Coast.

"A recent report on underground water indicates it is being over-extracted by four times its capacity," she said.

She is concerned about the welfare of the Ettalong foreshore whose character should be retained.

She doesn't want to see the same planning mistakes made on The Peninsula as are evident elsewhere on the coast.

Hillary has called for Gosford Council to refuse a development application which threatens the Umina Coastal Sandplain Woodland - the only type of its kind in the world.

The NSW Dept. of Environment and Conservation recommends the 11 hectares of Coastal Sandplain be nominated for a national listing as an endangered ecological community.

"I am also very aware of the struggle public schools constantly have in regard to financial support including building maintenance, counsellor placements and resource funding among others," she said.

She is conscious of the many other issues which are affecting residents.

"If selected to represent the people of this electorate, I will do my utmost to see these issues addressed and resolved," Hillary said.

"This will be done by lobbying local, state and federal governments to get the results you want."
